PREFACE

Geography and harmony are closely intertwined in which presents useful arguments from geographers. The discourse around harmony that has been the main subject of debate from geographers encompass various focuses as well as transgress disciplinary boundaries particularly on education, watershed management, natural hazard and resilience, sustainable development, religion, transportation and gender roles. Under the theme of Stretching the Harmony: A Paradigmatic Shift from Geography and Environmental, this conference proceeding covers sub-themes adopting from the 2nd International Geography Seminar (IGEOS).

The 2nd International Geography Seminar (IGEOS) is a second international event organised in 2018 by the Department of Geography and Environment, Faculty of Human Sciences, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) in collaboration with the Department of Geography Education, Faculty of Social Science Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) and Persatuan Geografi, UPSI. This seminar was inspired by an excellent outcome of 1st IGEOS organised in 2017 under the theme of 'Harmony with Nature: Strengthening Relationships between Human and Environment'. Thus, the 2nd IGEOS 2018 provides a space to stretch the discussions and to strengthen the foundations that had started in the 1st IGEOS 2017.

We proudly announced that this proceeding is the result of discussion from 2nd IGEOS' meeting of leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars on all aspects of geographical studies and practices. It also provides interdisciplinary discourses and the discussion of most recent innovations, trends and concerns as well as practical challenges and solutions adopted within this field.

Since early 2000, four future scenarios have been generated to chart the development of higher education in Malaysia. The most recent future scenario for Malaysia's higher education was generated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution as its primary context and driver. Arguably, the Fourth Industrial Revolution represents new ways in which disruptive technologies are affecting educators, thus necessitating a redesigning of the education system and transform the learning and teaching delivery, as well as demanding the industry sectors to enhance, reskill and upscale talents. In this respect, geography as a discipline and geographers as the practitioners of this discipline need to adapt to the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The response to Fourth Industrial Revolution is indeed critical to ensure the relevance of the output and outcome of our efforts as geographers in the universities and in practice. The most critical element in geography that need geographers' attention is the idea of physical versus virtual mobility, brought about by advanced technologies. The paper concludes that while the Fourth Industrial Revolution would introduce new technology that would ultimately reduce the need for real (physical) mobility, real human experience, which is the core concern of geography, nonetheless need to be defended. Human experience through purely virtual mobility could not replace those accumulated through travel and exploration. Google Sightseeing is a preamble to travel and experience and not the final destination. Geography and geographers would continue to have an important role to play in enhancing the human experience in the Fourth Industrial Revolution period. For this to happen, strategic initiatives must be put rolled out now.

Humans basically are the type of creatures who live in land, so it is reasonable if their attention was almost entirely focused on exploiting natural resources on land. But it needs to be realized that most of the Earth's surface consists of water. Especially for Indonesia that its territorial was mostly consists of waters which is the ocean, then it is reasonable, or even if this nation should pay particular attention of the excavation, utilization and maintenance of marine resources. Based on these considerations, it is necessary to outlined the efforts of increasing awareness and utilization of marine resources, but it must remain in rational and responsive to increase prosperity for the present and next generation by Maritime Education. Geography Education have a role as an important instrument in Maritime Education.

The study aimed to examine the knowledge, attitude and practices of environmental sustainability of pre-school students in Malaysia. This study applied a quantitative method comprising questionnaires with 500 pre-school students. Research variables were knowledge of recyclable and non-recyclable materials, sustainability knowledge, sustainability attitudes and sustainability Reuse-Reduce-Recycle (3R) practices. Most variables including knowledge of recyclable and non-recyclable materials, sustainability knowledge, sustainability attitudes and sustainability Reuse-Reduce-Recycle (3R) practices were at high levels. While, the analysis of correlation test explained that there was a significant relationship between every variables. It can be concluded that a high level of knowledge does not give effect in increasing the sustainability practices of students. Therefore, a strong commitment from teachers are requires to improve the knowledge, attitude and practice of sustainability in the early stages of education. The readiness of early childhood education teachers in respect of continuous training in various sustainability activities is a vital requirement to systematically and effectively apply sustainability practices.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a learning design model that considers the relevance between material, pedagogy, and learning technology. This model is suitable to be applied to Geography subjects, but the question arises: is there enough media and learning tools available in schools to carry out TPACK-based geography learning? This study uses a survey method with a study population of all geography teachers in 3 (three) districts / cities in West Java Province. Data was analyzed using the SWOT approach. The results showed that the main weakness of the implementation of TPACK was the limitation of learning tools / media, and geographic subjects still grouped in the social sciences so that they received less attention from the government. In addition, the threat is a ban from the government to implement the TPACK model because it is slightly different from the applicable learning process standards. Based on the above conditions, a solution that is considered effective is conducting further research, namely identifying the tools and geography learning media needed and developing a systematic TPACK-based scientific learning model / strategy

This article was written to explain the suitability between the scores of advance learning activities achieved by students with the "gain score" from the results of the pre-test and post-test of HOTS questions. Advance learning activities include, 1)analyzing, 2)communicating/dialogue, 3)discussing/collaborating. Whereas HOTS question is a question that testing students' creativity and strategy in solving problems and is at the level of C4 (analyzing), C5 (evaluating) and C6 (Creating). EXO OLO TASK Learning Model was applied in this quasi-experimental research for four meetings in class X IS 1. The model was practiced by a model teacher and learning activity data was collected by six observers. The suitability was obtained by percentage analysis and strengthened by correlation test with the help of SPSS version 20. The results showed that, 1) during learning, all students showed consistent basic learning activities; 2) most students had a "gain score" in the medium category. While 24.13% of students were able to reach high categories and only 6.89% of students with low gain scores, 3) 65.51% of students had scores of learning activities that match the "gain score" and 34, 48% did not. The implementation of this model has only been applied in one class and one school so that it is necessary to implement it in broader classes and schools.

Citarum River stretches wide and long through village and city lands with straight, winding paths, and meanders. In the meander section, sediment deposits occur which result in the stunted flow causing floods or overflowing water out of the river. To overcome this problem, river shortcuts were constructed to straighten the stream, which results in disconnected reaches called oxbow rivers. This study presents a method development of a community empowerment-based oxbow rivers utilization which taking a case study on one of the ten oxbow rivers located along the Citarum River. The selected oxbow river is the one that located in Cibarangbang, Baleendah Village of West Java province with a length of 860.36 m, 10 m width, river bank height of 4.97 m and area of 100 ha. The utilization of oxbows is aimed to address technical and socio-economic problems through either of these three main approaches: 1. oxbow river as a means of conservation/revitalization of rivers by maintaining the function of oxbow lakes as a water reservoir, e.g., by making an impoundment, an inlet and outlet structures, a maintenance road, etc; 2. utilizing the area for public infrastructure and facilities through land reclamation; 3. using the area as a tourism site.

This study aims to formulate an action plan of modern irrigation at Cibinuangeun. Cibinuangeun is an irrigation area located in Banten Province, Indonesia. The area is situated in a sediment area, so the land is very fertile. Cibinuangeun priory irrigated 2.809 hectares area which was distributed in 10 villages. Unfortunately, due to the lack of water, the area is dropping off. It reduces into 1.786 hectare and is only distributed in 4 villages. As a result, it influences the rice field productivity. Basically, the rice field productivity reached 5.17 ton/ha. Nowadays, it decreases to less than 5 ton/ha. This is lower than Indonesia national irrigation productivity which should reach 7 ton/ha. This condition indirectly indicates that there are relationship between rice field productivity and land area. Ninety five percent of rice productivity is influenced by the land area, and only 5% influenced by other factors, such agriculture intensifications. This means that the heightening of 1 hectares area can increase 4.91 tons of DMR. If irrigation area is expanded into 2.809, it can gain 5.024 tons of DMR. The farming income also will increase from 56.6 billion rupiah to 68.65 billion rupiah. Therefore, the intensification needs to be done. One of them is through the improvement of irrigation infrastructure and EM organization.

This article aims to examine individual travel cost at selected hot springs as part of the efforts to develop health, wellness and recreational-based tourism in Perak. It first argues that the individual's place of origins determines their accessibility to the study sites. This paper then identifies and analyses the visitors' travel expenditure during their visit to each hot spring. The last section will discuss the effects of using hot springs for future health, wellness and recreational-based tourism in Perak. Using a Travel Cost Method, a Willingness–to-Pay of visitors was calculated as function of travel cost that incurred to reach a location. The paper utilizes a primary data which were collected during peak season from November to December in 2017 involving 241 visitors. The findings show that majority of the visitors are those who lived more than 50 km from the hot spring and spent more than one hour for each visit. In addition, each individual visitor to the hot spring generally spent by about RM 58.98 for their visit. This indicates that the hot spring potentially has the economic value in promoting health, wellness and recreational-based tourism.

This study was conducted to examine well water quality in areas of different land use in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan, Malaysia. A total of four water sampling locations were selected to represent specific land use types, including Pasir Puteh town (urban land use), Padang Pak Amat (industrial land use), Bukit Gedombak (landfill site) and Kampung Jelor (agricultural land use). Well water sampling was carried out twice, in March 2018 and April 2018. Water quality samples were analysed both in-situ and in the laboratory based on the Water Quality Index (WQI) as determined by the Malaysian Department of Environment (DOE). Water quality parameters analysed included Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Ammonia Nitrogen (NH3N), pH and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). The findings showed that although values of the six parameters observed did not exceed the specified standards, well water quality in all four types of land-use areas belonged to WQI Class III, with values ranging between 61.5 and 74.5. Class III quality indicates that the water should be treated first if it is to be used as drinking water supply. Well water quality in the area subject to agricultural land use exhibited the lowest WQI value of 61.5, reflecting the influence of local rice paddy activities. Continuous monitoring and immediate measures must therefore be undertaken, as these water sources remain exploited by locals for everyday use.

The rising amount of e-waste can be attributed to many factors such as the advancement in technology, a variety of electric and electronic equipment (EEE) offered in the market, electric and electronic (EE) product becoming cheaper and exceedingly high demands. E-waste is believed to be mostly generated from domestic items because there is no systematic management of e-waste from households, particularly in many developing countries. The non-systematic management will have an adverse impact on the environment and human. Therefore, this study attempts to uncover the current state of affairs involving e-waste management by households in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The objectives of this study are to identify the composition of electric and electronic equipment owned by households in the selected housing area and to evaluate the behavior of households in managing their e-waste. This study used a survey method using 100 sets of questionnaires which were distributed to respondents in the selected housing area. The results showed that mobile phones are dominating the category of electric and electronic equipment in the study area. In addition, most respondents do not adopt sustainable e-waste management such as recycling which is vital, as many prefer to store them at home or throw them to the rubbish bin. In conclusion, this study has shown that e-waste management scenarios in Kota Kinabalu are not particularly sustainable. The findings of this study can also lead to implication for creating awareness to stakeholders such as the City Hall of Kota Kinabalu and the Department of Environment so that both stakeholders could design a proper e-waste management system as part of an effort to create sustainable e-waste management.

The rehabilitate degraded watersheds efforts at the national level tends to ineffective, due to the lack of synergy between stakeholders and community involvement. This paper aims to give an idea that planning for rehabilitation of degraded watersheds can be started from the community level, through the involvement of the community in spatial planning. It can be done by integrating watershed and administration unit with participatory mapping method. From two locations in Central Java and West Nusa Tenggara, it shows that participatory mapping could be implemented as a method to identify existing land use, land cover and finding the problem in their environment. Furthermore, spatial planning can be developed together by the community in different village but in the same watershed area.

The placement of a rain station must precisely represent the area it is measuring, so it is necessary to examine the distribution of existing rain stations compared to the characteristics of the area measured. This study aims to assess the distribution of existing rain station in East Java compared with physiographic variables, altitude and rainfall characteristics. The method used is overlay map method using Geographic Information System application. The overlaid maps consist of physiographic maps, topographic maps and rain maps whose results are called physiomorphohydro maps. The results showed that the distribution of rain stations in East Java is relatively uneven compared to the physiomorphohydro condition. Based on the overlay results it is known that there are a number of zoning that have no rain stations and excessive rain stations. Other zones have the corresponding number of rain stations. The number of zoning physiomorphohydro which has no rain station as many as 23 zones and more as 33 zones and as many as 6 zones have been appropriate. Therefore, it is necessary to review the distribution of rain stations in East Java in accordance with the characteristics of the area measured.

Analysis and prediction of temperature time series is important because temperature changes can affect human's health. The objectives of this study are to analyse and predict the temperature series in Jerantut, Pahang, Malaysia using chaotic approach. Modelling through chaotic approach divided into two stages; reconstruction of phase space and prediction processes. Through the reconstruction of phase space, a single scalar time series is rebuilt into a multi-dimensional phase space. This multi-dimensional phase space is used to detect the presence of chaotic dynamics through phase space plot and Cao method. The results show that the observed time series is chaotic in dynamic. Therefore, one hour ahead prediction through local mean approximation method is done. The correlation coefficient value obtained is 0.9789. The value which is approaching one reflected that the predicted time series and observed time series are close to each other. Thus, the modelling through chaotic approach is considered succeed. It is hoped that the model can help Malaysian Meteorological Department and Department of Environment Malaysia in order to improve their weather services.

The transitional between Quaternary and Tertiary volcanic landscapes is characterized by very deep interlayered clays. The the study of clay occurrence at certain depth through geophysical application is not intensively studied yet. Our sampling site is located at Bompon Sub-watershed where the rotational landslide are freqwently occurred. This research aims to investigate the characteristics of clay layer that potentially become sliding surface of landslides using two-dimensional (2D) resistivity method. Resistivity survey using dipole-dipole configration was conducted above three types of rotational slides typically occurred in the study area. We also did field observation as well as laboratory measurement for supporting data interpretation. Three kinds of interlayered clay materials are clearly detectable from 2D resistivity sections under all bodies of landslides. Those materials are entirely categorized as clay but different on cracks structure and cracks density, soil moisture, total porosity, bulk density, and specific gravity. Based on its physical characteristics, the saturated clay located around 10 up to 20 meters in depth is the most likely becoming sliding surface of landslides. This result is useful for understanding the nature of rotational slides commonly occurred in the volcanic transitional landscapes in Indonesia.

Globalization and needs development have provided spaces for women to participate in an economic movement, including those women of fishery laborer families. They perform their roles in order to help the economy without any burden, like the so-called double burden, which is often associated with them since they have to both do households duties and earn money as well. Background and impetus of female economic movement among fishery labour families are the focus of this research. By applying qualitative technique using in-depth interview this study shows that women have a distinct power in a further empowerment of their families. Low education level of these women is not an obstacle in actualizing themselves in the public sectors. In fact, this economic movement had been socialized to them even when they were children. While these women are traditionally restricted within domestic space, they have proved to be a saviour in their families by fulfilling the families' basic needs, which are often not provided by their husbands. In fact these female fishery workers in Indramayu are the breadwinners for their families. However, the social construct is not fair to them as the society views them merely as freelance workers.

This paper aims to investigate the impact of proximity to the nearest light rail transit station on the value of condominium properties in Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The paper utilizes a data set of 476 condominium sales occurring in Greater Kuala Lumpur between January 2017 and the second quarter of 2018. Using a hedonic pricing model, housing price was modelled as a function of proximity to the nearest light rail transit station and with regard to other structural and locational attributes. The results suggest that condominium units located within 800 m to the nearest light rail transit station can earn a premium of MYR 172,904 (US$43,226), or 30% of the city's average home value. The results of this study also indicate that in determining property values, proximity to the nearest light rail transit station is the second-most influential variable compared to other variables. This paper represents an original contribution to the literature in that there has been limited research on the impact of proximity to light rail transit stations on condominium prices in developing countries.

Customary land is a land that has been inherited from the ancestors and has been cultivated since time immemorial. Customary land is also the foundation of the life of the indigenous communities, and it is governed in accordance with their customs, known as adat. Unfortunately, the customary practices of the indigenous communities are often neglected and are not recognised by the state. This is due to opposing opinions and interpretations of customary land ownership and statutory land tenure as practised by the state. This study was mainly conducted to understand the differing perceptions, with the hope that the findings may provide a enlightenment on how these two opposing systems can be uniformized. A qualitative research method was used involving interviews with key informants from among the indigenous peoples living in Sinumagang and Tinuman Toki, Sabah, Malaysia. The preliminary findings revealed that the current state system does provide a window of opportunity to accommodate input from the customary practices of the indigenous communities to make it a part of the reformed land administration system of the state.

Land cover in urban areas can be detected through surveys or using high-resolution imagery with a better accuracy. Especially if the need related to land cover information regionally in the period of the nineties that require the availability of data and unavailability of high resolution images. Therefore, images with intermediate spatial resolution are still required. However, the use of medium-resolution images such as Landsat is constrained by the presence of mixed pixels that cause land cover in urban areas to vary. The mixed pixel will be the source of error in the multispectral classification process, so it takes analysis up to the subpixel level. The need for information up to the subpixel level for ground cover detection can be obtained through the Linear Spectral Mixture Analysis method, where one pixel in the Landsat image in this study will be separated into four endmember, ie vegetation, impervious surface, bare soil, and water. These four endmembers are assumed to represent linear combinations of land coverings contained in urban areas in the form of proportions in each pixel. The results show that the endmember can be well separated, whereas the RMS error of 1994th is 0.013 with an accuracy of 94.44%.

The Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) was categorized as a red list according to IUCN. Javan Rhinoceros was increasingly threatened due to the lack of available environmental characteristic informations (habitat) that was suitable for Javan rhinoceros to survive in in-situ conservation. The capability of various remote sensing wavelengths sensors can be used to get the environmental characteristics data and obtain information related to Javan Rhinoceros's habitat characteristics through spatial modelling. This research were aimed to (1) knowing the ability of LANDSAT-8 multispectral satellite imagery to identify biophysical parameter of Javan Rhinoceros's habitat in Ujung Kulon National Park and (2) developing a javan rhinoceros's suitable habitat distribution model in order to survive in Ujung Kulon National Park. The data were collected by LANDSAT-8 multispectral satellite imagery interpretation assisted by GIS analysis. The result showed that LANDSAT-8 multispectral satellite imagery can be used to identify several biophysical parameters, such: slope, altitude, vegetation cover index, temperature, and the distance of puddle, river, beach, and glade. Moreover, the result of the distribution model can be visualized as digital maps and software-based maps about Javan rhinoceros habitat information's, and it can be used as guidance for conservation society in order to conserve Javan rhinoceros in Indonesia.
